[PATCH v4] net: caif: fix stack out-of-bounds write in cfctrl_link_setup()

From: Kangzheng Gu <hidden>
Date: 2026-03-30 06:53:56
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

cfctrl_link_setup() copies the RFM volume name from a received control
packet into linkparam.u.rfm.volume until a '\0' is found. A malformed
packet can omit the terminator and make the copy run past the 20-byte
stack buffer.

Stop copying once the buffer is full and mark the frame as failed by
setting CFCTRL_ERR_BIT so the link setup is rejected.

Fixes: b482cd2053e3 ("net-caif: add CAIF core protocol stack")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: Kangzheng Gu <redacted>

 v4:
 - remove the Reported-by.
 - print a warn message and reject link setup by setting CFCTRL_ERR_BIT.
 - using %zu to adapt the compilation of 32-bit kernel.
